With feet In the gives,
They rode for their lives;
For they heard ON the wind, such demonlae
They knew either Phil or the devil was after!
Lee thought that Five Forks" in a road
was too many,
And starting OF cross-lots, he didn't take
any,
For he said: I'm cut throughv'
Phil said: I'D II You dor
Lee first thought he would, and thought he
The fact that he didn't was proof that he
couldn'tl
No hero e'er conquered more stubborn foe;
And never did captor such courtesy show
As Grant did 10 Lee;
This was his decree:
Let officers freely reuain their side arms,
And soldiers their horses for tillmg the
farmsr'
One could conquer the world with such re-
tinue;
A phalanx Of patriots brave boys in blue.
This great leader thought
No army e'er fought
So bravely! Each soldier a true vOlunteerl
Each soldier freeman. Each soldier his
peerl
The palm, unto him, must all history yield
Who never lost battle and never field
While Potomac's great host
of this glory may boast:
By the world-hOnored Grant our great army
